Every Jaguar X-Type model year ranked by the owner complaints and recalls filed with NHTSA, with crash-test ratings and EPA fuel economy, so you know which years to skip and which to shortlist.
None stand out
No year drew far more complaints than a typical X-Type year (39).
Not enough history yet
Newer years haven't had time to collect complaints, so none can be called proven yet.
